Police seek suspect in Wareham stabbing

WAREHAM — Police are investigating a stabbing that occurred about 3:30 p.m. today and sent a 25-year-old man to the hospital.

Acting Police Chief Kevin Walsh said in a news release that police and EMS personnel responded to 28 Cedar St. after a report that a male resident had been stabbed.

Officers arrived at the scene and spoke with the victim, Noah Martin-Long, 25, who told them he had been stabbed twice in the back during an argument with a male visitor. The suspect, whose identity is being withheld at this time, left the residence before the arrival of responding officers, Walsh said.

Martin-Long was taken to Tobey Hospital in Wareham, then airlifted to a Boston area hospital where he is being treated for the stab wounds and was reported in stable condition tonight, Walsh said.

He added that investigation is ongoing and further information will be provided when it becomes available. —CURT BROWN
